iPhone 14 Pro constantly freezing

Question

iPhone 14 Pro constantly freezing

This phone is awful. I’m having to restart it multiple times a day. It gets in this state where apps won’t launch, notifications won’t respond. I’ve started carrying my wallet again because it’s frozen up even launching Apple Pay.

I brought it into an Apple Store and their straight faced advice was to completely wipe it and set it up as a new device without restoring my backup, and to not use any 3rd party VPN because “Apple devices are secure and don’t play well with VPNs”

I wish I could get my 12 Pro back… no issues in the 2 years I had it

Hello,

Hmm, a factory reset is pretty straight forward:

Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to factory settings

Then, try it without VPN. Unless it is required by work or school, many don't believe that it is necessary.

Good luck.

P.S let us know if you get it working.

No, not a factory reset. A factory reset and NOT signing in to my apple account, meaning no contacts, no photos, no apps, nothing

A VPN may not be “necessary” but it does not cause apps to not launch.

These are the dreaded “remedies” that rob hours of our lives. All my apps are unchanged from my Pro 13 and never had a problem before 14 Pro with any other model. I upgrade every year without issues until this iPhone. My wife is ****** off that I talked her into upgrading because it’s happening to her 14 pro too.
